Revox B22 (Unknown Years)

A CD player from Revox's Emotion Series with bitstream digital conversion and differential mode output.

Overview

The Revox B22 is a compact disc player from Revox's Emotion Series. It was sold under several names, including "Revox B22 CD Speler - Emotion Serie" and "REVOX B22 MKIII," and some listings carry Studer Revox branding. It plays standard audio CDs and uses a 1-bit bitstream digital-to-analog conversion system with 256x oversampling. Outputs are unbalanced analog audio on RCA and a coaxial digital audio output, also on an RCA connector. Some sources call it a CD/SACD player. The HiFiEngine manual confirms CD playback only, so CD is the verified format.
